What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law directs the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to develop a
proposal for a multiple-vendor student information system (SIS). DPI must submit
the proposal to the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF) for its approval. If JCF
approves the proposal, DPI must implement it and must ensure that information
about pupils enrolled in charter schools and about pupils enrolled in private schools
participating in a parental choice program (PCP) is collected and maintained in the
SIS. Current law also provides that if the SIS is established, DPI must ensure that
within five years, every school district and every charter school is using the SIS, and
that every private school participating in a PCP is either using the SIS or is using
a system that is interoperable with the SIS.
This bill allows a private school participating in a PCP to use the SIS
established by DPI, but does not require the private school to do so or to establish its
own student information system.
